Collection and processing of personal data.

Personal information means all information that is used to identify your person and which can be traced back to you – such as your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without giving any personal information. To improve our online offer, however, we store (without personal reference) your access data on this website. These access data include e.g. the file you requested or the name of your Internet service provider. Due to the anonymization of the data, conclusions about your person are not possible.

  • We process personal data such as first name, last name, IP address, e-mail address, place of residence, postal code and contents from direct contact with us.
  • We process personal data only with the explicit permission of the concerned users and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
  • The processing of personal data takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest to fulfill our contractually agreed services and to optimize our online service.

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be saved. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR and serves the security of us as a website operator: Because, if your comment violates applicable law, we can be prosecuted, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or contribution author.
